PAMELA GELLER: Notre Dame ‘Emblematic’ Of Christianity’s Decline In Europe
By: John Griffing, Big League Politics, April 16, 2019:
PARIS, FRANCE — The jury is still out on whether the fire was caused by arson or just bad safety protocols when rennovating, but the iconic French cathedral’s combustion has a bigger meaning, one famous Islam expert told Big League Politics in an exclusive.
Anti-radical Islam activist and bestselling author Pamela Geller in a statement to Big League Politics remarked that the Notre Dame fire is “emblematic of the decline and demise of Christianity.”

As Geller explains:
Whether the fire was arson or an accident, it is emblematic of the decline and demise of Christianity and Judeo-Christian culture in Europe. It also must be borne in mind that many churches all over France have been vandalized, and some have been set ablaze, in recent weeks.
We checked, and she is correct. There is a pattern of church-targeted violence in France within the past month and it’s noteworthy, the ardent and constantly at-risk culture warrior says.
“There have been foes of the Catholic Church in France for centuries, but this large-scale vandalism and arson has only taken place after the Muslim migrant influx,” Geller notes.
Big League Politics released its own coverage of the uptick in anti-Christian (or anti-Catholic) violence within France’s borders on Monday, April 15. In his story, Peter D’Abrosca recounts the very transparent display of dhimmitude at Fox News Channel in the wake of the Notre Dame fire.
A fire at Saint-Sulpice church in Paris is believed to have been deliberate
Fox News anchors conspicuously and obnoxiously ended interviews with two separate guests when they began to talk about the rash of targeted attacks against Catholic churches in France.
“You need to know that for the past year we’ve had churches desecrated each and every week in France – all over France,” French politician Philippe Kersenty told Fox’s Shep Smith. “The politically correct will try to tell you this is an accident – ”
Smith interrupted.
“Sir, sir, sir – we’re not going to speculate here of the cause of something that we don’t know,” he said. “If you have observations, or you know something, we would love to hear it.”

Bullshit, you have no idea what you’re talking about.
The (very unfortunate) fire of a historical roof truss
has nothing to do with 6 million gassed or shot Jews,
nor with 50 million war dead. You lack scale of reality.
You don’t get it. I’m not going to demean you because your intellectual capacity is less than mine. Though I understand you don’t possess the morality to respect my opinions.
I see World War 3 level abuse coming from Islamic people. Caucasians are not like Muslims other than the fact that Arabs are caucasians. We don’t put up with being treated like garbage. Most of us have to come from a background of severe abuse in order to be willing to respect Islam or join it. The only people in this world that can keep putting up with this level of abuse from a religious group are complete idiots.
At some point the French will stop having yellow vests on and they’ll just start taking action and overthrow their government and take back France from these monsters…
Anyone would have thought that no man nowadays would slip on such
banana shells. You demonstrate your emotional immaturity and make
yourself uninteresting with a masochistic joy for all women of the world. https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/the-white-knight-syndrome
“You demonstrate your emotional immaturity and make
yourself uninteresting “…hey, doll baby, classic projection on your part, albeit comically dimwitted and infantile. You: How can a “guy” even call himself “Harriet”? You: “your’re as yellow as your wee-weenie”. You; “the only erection on him is the feather on his piss yellow avatar”. Naaah , nothing of emotional immaturity on your part. So, now we know you can’t get and erection and you like golden showers and you have gender issues. Thanks for clarifying that, sweetie…so nice to see validation of the obvious.
But who knows, maybe “Harriet” is just an “alternative account”
of Tamara Pussy-Mecklenburg, but she has completely forgotten
that she is not a guy. After all, she is “intellectually superior” to men.
Nobody says everything’s “great, super and perfect”.
But you don’t see anymore what is great, super and
perfect. You see always only the hair in the soup. A
morbid fatalism that wishes nearly the misfortune.
I can also tell you why: Because otherwise nothing exci-
ting will happen in your wellness oasis, and you’ve been
living in your heads in your action movies for a long time.
Hitler is a blip on the radar screen compared to centuries of murder by Muslims
and we both know how evil Hitler was. Hands down Mohammad wins by a landslide.
Islamism is a neologism that like islamophobia was “created by fascists and used by cowards to manipulate morons.” No imam, mullah, ayatrollah, islamic state or mosque identifies itself as “islamist”. The word is a lie designed to create a false dichotomy in islam.
Trends along trajectory, could very well end in that catastrophe.

Fox News Shep Smith is a lay-down for his paymasters. This Saturday Judge Jeanine should provide much-needed details about what happened yesterday in Paris at Notre Dame and where the responsibility lies. Am sure she has been shaken to the core by this fire.
My sense is, that after her suspension in calling out Islamist representative, fake congress woman Omar, she may shy away from Islam issues. Else, her job may be at risk. (A wake up call and/or warning signal to everyone at Fox?) Increasing — and worrying — back-door form of behind scenes censorship?
Did you notice that in the 2 weeks since she’s been back, her opening monologues have been pre-recorded? They play them as if they were live, but you can see they aren’t. I assume that management made that a condition of her return, so they could censor anything honest. I’m ready to jump the Fox ship when the MAGA talent leaves.
Had no clue. That is most disheartening, if true. Evidence of cracks and breaches in conservatism’s last bastion. Horizon rising, Shadow State propaganda machine, and disguised satellite outposts of stealth PC-enforcement. The last defiant citadel, Fox News, surrounded and besieged. (And infiltrated?)
Sheperd Smith and his homosexual significant other are frank with each other. One is Frank one night and the other is Frank the next.
Like the Mueller investigation, the French are in search of an alternate explanation for what happened, predicated on avoiding any possible reference it radical islamic terror.
Notice in the article that there is no mention of mosques being vandalized. Wonder why.

When the muslums inevitably take over northwestern Eurapia the atheists will be crying for the days they thought Christianity was the problem.
Atheists do not think Christianity is the problem we think religion is the problem. There is ample evidence going back many centuries that this is true. I am sure the vast majority are as much against the Islamist project as any Christians are. In fact a lot of Christians seem to be appeasers of Islam being woefully ignorant of it
Please remember your thoughts about religion when you’re about to enter a hospital founded by the hard work and endowments of Jews and Christians — because I wouldn’t want you atheists to look like hypocrites.

“Notre Dame ‘Emblematic’ Of Christianity’s Decline In Europe”.
I take a different view from Pam. Cause I’m saying this is all
but the same soup. What am I trying to say? All “fundamen-
talists” (rather mentalistst) also called “fundies” are affected
by the same madness and war against each other. There can
therefore never be peace among them. Either all of them agree
to believe in the same “God” – or all of them together abandon
their religious delusion. There are no other solutions. Those
who really look will always come to the same conclusion.
Faith should be a private matter. What someone believes in has
absolutely NOTHING lost in public! Especially in a world that’s not
created from superstition but from pure physical, chemical & ma-
thematical knowledge. After all these centuries, don’t talk about
ghosts you call call “gods”! THIS is the very core of the problem!
“Who knows what it’s good for!” The fanatics are once
again keen on beating each other’s heads in, so much
will always remain, no “enlightenment” has been able
to dissuade tem from their insane superstitions. They
don’t use their mobile phones for learning, they use
them for yarning. They discover ghosts everywhere,
which are in truth only in themselves, and whose de-
pendent, unfree slaves they are! It’s so ridiculous and
childish, so immature and unworthy! It is clear, they
have absolutely NOT understood! They’re as stupid
as they have always been, apparently always will be. https://www.movebeyond.net/know-no-limits/who-knows-what-is-good-and-what-is-bad/ https://startingwithastory.com/episode/008
Yeah and atheists slaughtered more people in the name of Communism in the 20th century than Nazis and muslums combined.

If fire that gutted the Gothic Cathedral, at heart of the French Republic, turns out sparked-Islamist — could well ignite firestorm-backdraft. One that could spread across Catholic Continent. Note how some Parisians openly wept, knelt and prayed, in sight of the Edifice aflame on the Seine. If blaze of pyro-terror caused, many might burn with fury. Hostile reaction to raging Islamists, who seek to provoke the West: trigger major State — civilizational — backlash, that they hope would result in crop of resentful Muslim, alienated embittered settlers, flooding radical ranks with new recruits: new domestic-spawned jehadis. But militant Islamist attacks on Western religion, could also bring their own destruction! Last time Saracen aggression violated Christendom’s sacred sensibility, action-reaction avalanche of steel fell upon Islam’s shores: Crusaders waging war!
So far, Left-undermined West has absorbed scimitar war-strikes against facets of society, to response of balloons, candles and vigils. But dramatic escalation, if against symbols and monuments of regional faith, assaults relentlessly increase — enraged rise of populous tide. Could prove suicidal to militant Mohammedanism, open and disguised.
Tolerant Europe has LONG BEEN burning and losing its most important Christian symbols – do you need to add anything else? If the existing European governments are not brought to justice, then Europe will disappear completely in the last dark centuries.

As long as the Europeans cannot or will not reconnect with Christianity or spiritual faith, they will always be vulnerable to this evil.
True…Islam is filling the vacuum. But the atheistic Leftists welcome the foreign “religious” enemy because, like themselves, they are anti-West, anti-Christian and anti-Jew. Muslims will tolerate their atheistic ‘useful infidel’ allies until they are no longer needed.
To paraphrase Khrushchev: the muslums will bury them.

Yes, that is what all pundits are saying. The decline of the West. It’s time has come because when you look at how they succumbed to leftist and lieberal beliefs. It has been going on for decades.
Proof is we now accept sodomites, transgenders, fornication, Negro worship as normal. The really bad one is the SODOMITE one.
Not only does that go against nature but God made sure to mention Sodom & Gomorrah’s destruction in which a Superior being threw sulfur bombs and brimstones on those cities and totally DESTROYED them. Nothing grows there anymore.
A total insult of the Left was to make a sodomite Negro your king breaking another edict from the Most High. Do you think you’ll get away with it?
Look, an enemy has invaded your land even as I speak.

Sadly, but true. Hardly a peep out of the mainstream media on the previous vandalizing of churches in France. While the social media showed a video of a man in a white cap and white gown walking on the loft, at a very leisurely pace, 30 mintues after the fire began and nothing from the authorities.

It is NOT only the decline of Christianity but the forced antipathy towards its churches (some of it deserved I agree) by the left its politicians, its teachers, its academics, its lawyers and its rabble scum. I know that the RC and other churches are guilty of crimes at times. SO WHAT? Nothing any of them have done in 2019 years approaches what islam has done in 100 years. This is the LEFT opening the gates and brainwashing our children into believing that it is okay. Have a look at the videos of the idiot children demonstrating on climate change. NOT one of them knew about the devastating ice age and floods that devastated a virtually humanless world in 21000 to 8000 BC. They went out because their leftist teachers have LIED to them. THE LEFT are the PRIMARY enemy. Remove them and watch islam unfold as we reinstitute proper laws and their punishments.

Sorry,Pamela, I seldom disagree with you,but the jury is not out. I’ve lived in this world too long to believe in serendipity and coincidence. This is is a jihadist attack of the first order and it will be covered up by the French authorities and their friends in the media. This is an attack on the culture,religion and civilization the West,and it cannot and it will not go unanswered. Notre Dame is second only to St.Peters as a Christian symbol.
This attack during Holy Week is the work of jihadists perhaps implanted within
the construction workers on the site. This is an attack not just on the Catholic Church or on the French but on Western Civilization. The burning was preceded by hundreds of desecrations of Christian and Jewish sites throughout France and Europe. It must be revenged! The Only solution is to deport all Muslims immediately, close their mosques, seize their assets, and make it clear to the Muslims the Force de Frappe will nuke Mecca if there is any opposition. Macron will not do this but a successor will. It is the time the French military-install a government that supports the French people and civilization and now is the time.
On desecration of Christian churches and sites:
It is absolutely necessary that good men and women band together to protect our institutions, churches, and monuments from the horde of invaders that have and are continuing to pour into our nation. We need Guardians at every site 24/7/365, prepared to defend and protect our sacred sites.
Our Jewish friends need to have plenty of security at synagogues.
Passover is a special time too.
I’d like to see Europe explode with Islam. It would help us allot over here in further exposing Islam and with Trump as President, he’d help Europe. Some other clown as President, wouldn’t.
My friend’s synagogue hires two armed security guards for Yom Kippur and in our muslum future I don’t think that will be enough as the two blown up synagogues in Istanbul in 2003 attest.

i am here in ireland. we have beautiful churches and cathedrals. let someone attack same and the reprisal would be severe. france, i am sad to say is finished. like ireland and the rest of europe we are being taken over by stealth. macron must go. it is beyond belief that this burning of an iconic building with over a thousand years of history would go up in flames. who is attacking the other catholic churches and what is the reason?
if one says a derogatory word against another religion one is immediately called a racist. i am not a racist but i am definitely a nationalist.
today we now have PELOSI addressing our parliament. i wouldnt have her addressing a herd of goats. come visit ireland and cherish our heritage before it is taken from us. i hope the diaspora stands with us because the gobshites we now have in power led by VARADKAR do nothing . welcome to the tax haven ireland inc.
Does Ship not realize that a “construction accident” is speculation too?
How can they determine the cause of the fire BEFORE it was extinguished?
How do they know that even it was caused by a construction mishap that it was not deliberate?
WHAT IS NOT BEING REPORTED IS THAT THERE WERE NO CONSTRUCTION WORKERS ON SITE AT THE TIME THAT THE FIRE BEGAN, WHICH WAS 15 MINUTES AFTER THE LAST TOURIST LEFT.
Employees working there stated is was intentional.
I would trust them over the media any day of the week.
Your comment of no construction workers there strengthens my opinion that it was intentional set.
The story is that it was caused by an electric spark in an elevator…so they say. Ya’ think if it was arson…they would admit it? Not likely since the culprits would be obvious. Were there any Muslims working on the renovation? We will never find out. Needless to say…attacks on Notre Dame and other Churches will continue as before…because they haven’t dealt with the incendiary cause namely, the Muslim invasion. Don’t be surprised if Muslims deliberately start a fire in a Mosque…they have do their #VictimhoodJihad thing to gain sympathy because everyone will continue to speculate that Muslim jihadists are the culprits of the conflagration. For some reason when Muslims are culprits in terror attacks…authorities strain to find a “connection” to an established “radical” group or refer to the Muslim jihadist as “self-radicalized.” Hmmm—I wonder how someone who is a Muslim can “self-radicalize?” The Leftist apologists ignore the obvious that Islam in itself is a ‘radical’ ideology just like Nazism. A Muslim who “self-radicalizes” is just a “born again” Muslim or a Muslim who finds the true meaning of their fascist anti-infidel “religion.”
The French have interesting connections to Islam. In 732 they defeated Islam at Tours but 700 years later they flirted with Islam in the Mediterranean. So while Europe was preparing to face Islam in Vienna, France was not helping. This confusion continue today. They hesitated against Hitler in WW2 and they are hesitating now. So the motto that the French always attack is a myth.

I believe Muslims started the fire, but obviously no one at this time can prove it. The word “arson” is used and it’s code for Muslim.
That’s a loaded question.
What do you propose?
Keep in mind that people are voting Muslims into political positions.
What kind of resistance would you have with uninformed people?

In my experience, God communicates in poetic ways: He strings themes together so skilfully that those who have ‘eyes to see’ can see very clearly. Unfortunately, they can’t always understand clearly. (I include myself in this group.)
For instance, the sinking of the Titanic was emblematic of the 20th century, a warning, the theme being man’s hubris regarding technology. No matter how sophisticated the technology we invent may be, it can be turned to evil in the hands of fallible human beings.The following decades have borne this out.
The fire at Notre Dame cathedral is a similar thing: the forces of evil—secularism, Marxism, Islam–are destroying the Judeo-Christian edifice of Western civilization. It’s interesting, to me, that the building wasn’t entirely destroyed and may yet be fixed. The damage was serious enough so that if we don’t summon our energies to re-build it, it will decay and disappear into oblivion. However, there’ s enough left of the building that it appears there is still time to rouse ourselves to fight back to re-build it on its old foundations. We’ve been given a hint as to which road to take.
As a side note, I understand that some of the old cathedrals were erected according to the dimensions god gave Noah to build his arc. I don’t know if Notre Dame is one of them, but it’s a very suggestive idea.
You are correct. When God sees that human beings elevate THINGS AND HUMANS over HIM, I believe He then removes any protections from those human beings. I can imagine God looking down on people who are so upset by this Cathedral burning and looking into their hearts. If HE sees their heart has elevated Mother Mary (look up the meaning of this Cathedral’s NAME) AND/OR this Church as being more important than HIS Son, Jesus, then I can see him turning His back on them, or maybe even removing His hand of protection.
EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON, I believe. And, it does not matter WHO did this or even WHY, but what does matter is that GOD DID NOT PROTECT THIS BUILDING and I know why.
Shep Smitch is a PC liberal and a poor image for Fox News. He would be better at CNN or MSNBC, since his actions and behavior are generally in line with their biased reporting. He is certainly correct in saying that until there is proof that Notre Dame was a terrorist action, his first instinct was to stop any discussion of how Islamists have been destroying other churches in Europe in recent times. Not wanting that information out, is the reason we will probably never know the truth about how this fire started. In Europe and many other countries, there is a refusal to even discuss what Islamists have done, or are doing to destroy the societies that have welcomed them. The term Islamophobia seems to be a weapon that is feared more than the actual harm done.

Either one of two things happened at Notre Dame, 1 incompetent contractors and fire controls not properly imposed by govt officials both in my opinion criminal acts the individuals responsible should be prosecuted and Macron who is ultimately responsible for having hired these clowns should resign; OR 2 deliberate arson as we are seeing all over France at Catholic churches this option of course should also start criminal prosecutions. The fact that the MSM and Macron both want this horror dismissed from the news cycle is all the evidence a thinking person needs to know that both are culpable in this affront to religion and civilization. The Mrs O’Leary’s cow kicked over the lamp BS being promoted by the MSM as the cause (nothing to see here folks move on) is fake news like everything else the MSM broadcasts.

I do NOT condone the burning of this Cathedral.
However, being that Catholics tend to worship the deceased Mother Mary and hold her up as a DEITY, WHO IS NOT HOLY like Jesus is, makes me wonder if the Lord is sending the Catholics a message here by ALLOWING this burning. CATHOLICS: YOU NEED TO STOP ELEVATING HUMAN BEINGS, EVEN DEAD ONES, FOR WORSHIP.
It is okay to ADMIRE Paul, Peter, Mary, and any other Bible personality, but JESUS CHRIST IS LORD and ONLY HE CAN SAVE YOUR SOUL AND ANSWER YOUR PRAYERS. Mother Mary CANNOT DO A THING.

Good old Shep !!! Ms Geller the same thoughts crossed the minds of millions, and why not? The history of ISIS in France clearly leads one to think of them first and foremost. They have established quite a reputation for doing damage to that country and it’s citizens.
I think this list will prove that it was a spontanious combustion event and could not have been arson by a moslem. After all, Their imams teach them to be so nice!
